- - - - THE EXPERIMENT
        
        METHOD
        
        96 children /equally split into boys and girls
        
        Split into 4 groups of 24 to test 'conditions'(The four conditions)

        From Stanford University nursery
        
        Aged between 35-69 months
        
        Average age 4 years and 4 months
  - - - Needed as a comparison
      - The 'Baseline condition'
    - - Half of children in each group exposed to either
  - - - Used to accurately capture amount of aggressive behavior shown by children
        
        The dependent variable
        
        Depends on the independent variable
      - Coded behavior split into 4 types:
        
        Partial imitative responses- Aggressive actions I.e sitting on the doll or using mallet but in a non aggressive way
        
        Imitative aggressive - replication of model behaviour
        
        Nonimitative aggression - aggressive acts not observed in models behaviour
        
        Aggression gun play - shooting or aiming the toy gun
        
        = total aggression score of each child
    - - Can they be generalized?
        
        Argument 1- does it mean that children will effectively be violent towards people aswell as toys?
        
        Argument 2 - How long should have the observed effects been tested? there was a brief interval between the exposure to the observation. Was the behavior just confined to the experiment setting?
        
        3.Were some children more influenced than others? more susceptible?
        
        5.Could the acts be observed as acceptable in the particular setting due to the apathy of the female experimenter busying herself while the adult displayed the model behavior?
        
        4.Would the children believe that this behavior is expected from them?
- - - - Bushman and Huesman (2006) conducted meta analysis- concluded that exposure has a weak association with subsequent aggressive behaviour
